URGENT-NEED HELP WITH TMPGEnc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[dragonsau1988]

When i open up tmpgenc, i try to select the d2v file that i made with DVD2AVI, but it says that the file can not be opened\unsupported. how do i get it to be supported?

YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE VFAPI PLUGIN FOR TMPGENC SO IT WILL RECOGNIZE THE .d2v project file. download it to the tmpgenc folder and run the install and the try again it should work.

i installed the VFAPI plugin and was able to open the d2v file, but when i press "START" it says that the .mpg cannot be created. i'm trying to follow sefy's all in one newbie guide. i don't know whats wrong

I have had same problem, cannot open d2v file. I have extracted the VFP to the TMPGEnc folder and installed it but STILL cannot open d2v into TMPEnc? What am I doing wrong, thanks in anticipation???!

If you are just starting and are pretty new to ripping encoding and such this is a great guide to begin with.

Once you get the basics of this down then you can start tweaking settings and figure out how to improve quality and things like that.

i find this guide a lot easier than the one on vcdhelp.com's website

This one looks more interesting to a newbie, will go and study all, may be the answer, this is my first attempt at joining in a forum, many thanks for patience of all!! (In anticipation of future probs??!)

try to increase the priority on the vfapi plug in. on tmpg>options>environmental settings>vfapi plug in, then right click on the direct show multimedia file reader and increase its priority to 2 or 3. do this with the project file reader as well. hope that helps ya

dragonsau1988,
What version of DVD2AVI are you using?. Some people have reported problems using the latest version (v1.77.3). I suggest you try using v1.76 to create your project file and see if this helps.

thanx, i finally got it to work. which settings should i put on in tmpgenc in order to create a sharper image? i'd appreciate any suggestions

in tmpgenc, when i set the end frame to 104566 and i press start, it starts to encode out of 130456? why is this file too bigger?
